Tuesday - 30 minutes left of the day and I believe all is finally quiet at home.

Mike is working late hours - both trying to catch up from leave time and getting things at the office/chapel prepared for his upcoming extended absence.

Josiah didn't have to work today. We all voted to eat left overs and have an extra movie night this week. We had three movies waiting from Netflix when we got home. We watched *The Rookie* - a great baseball tale set among other places...right here in W TX. Shoot - the try outs were even set in THIS town. {G}

Earlier in the day the girls (all of em! Yippee) and I went in search of matching shirts for our family photo - scheduled for Thursday. I was all for WHITE but Mike wanted light blue polos. We looked. We ended up with some light blue and some darker blue to break it up. Everyone is set except for Stacia. I may dress her in a light blue dress. When Arielle modeled her new blue shirt we all decided it was time to take her shopping for her first training bra. Poor thing. She was blushing and Bre said, "Well Mom USED to hold them up to us like this to see if they fit" and proceeded to demonstrate on Krista. I insisted that I remember no such thing!! We cracked up. Without thinking, about 30 seconds later I said, "Arielle, turn around and lets see if these are the right width for you". Of course back at home the fun continued as Bre and I wanted to see if the thing fit her. I told Bre that poor Arielle is going to have a room full of Mom and sisters the day after she gives birth wanting to know if all is well. LOL BTW I am very careful what I share about the kids so that I dont' invade their privacy and Arielle said I could share the story about shopping.

We had planned to spend today with Debby and her son Michael...somehow we missed each other.

Jamin and Jared put togehter another big bookshelf for me. ARGH. I may have to start ditching books. We moved the smaller one that was in the library into the younger boy's room. All the children books are now in their room. I still need to organize the rest of the books. More than straightening the shelves I really need to finally get them all entered into a data base....I think that may be my "deployment project"...we'll see....there are so many good ones lining up.
I've been Tagged!!
